many of the bedding options on that site seem to be scented. I would avoid anything that has added scents which may irritate your hogs. generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with paper bedding. I would alter Franks comments slightly to say chronic dehydration CAN be a problem in captivity. especially if you live in Arizona lol hogs like things a bit on the dry side. just make sure they have fresh water available all the time and that they have no trouble shedding completely. if the shed doesn't come off in one whole piece, you might add a humid hide or look into a different bedding.
